If it´s so difficult to understand about Quinn's dirty dealings... why it only takes Lily a few days to understand everything? She wasn´t even living with the HOTs then...

If Sage haven´t neglected her duties with the HOTs, and over all, being so incredibly blind... why the situation of the sorority is so rotten now? She was the daughter of the Dean Bourke two or three years ago, when it all started. She had the means to help her sisters if she is so eager to help people, the same way she's trying to help Maya now. And she knows Quinn, Riona, Sarah or Mel for more that a few weeks and a couple of conversations, unlike Maya.

Truth is, the only way Sage, Elena or Heather could not see what is happening with Quinn and the others the same way Lily does, is that they are as dumb and clueless as Arieth. But they are not supposed to be dumb and clueless at all, and I don´t think it´s supposed that they actually know, but for some reason they hide it. It would make even less sense.

If Quinn's dealings were less hardcore and would not involve half of the HOTs and maybe a hundred of clients (both for drugs and prostitution) around the campus, it would be plausible that the other HOTs would not know about them. But DPC wanted a lot of drama. Drama at the level of a Mexican soap opera, and beyond.

I don´t even know why a guy like Bourke needs a girl like Quinn or trust her, over all being the best friend of his own daughter. He´s not so old or ugly, and he's the Dean. It should not be difficult for him to find students to fuck, even if he doesn't mind to risk his marriage and the relationship with his daughter. I have seen IRL, both in high school and the university, older and uglier teachers and professors get female students, and even male in the case of gay people, without need of directly paying them.

It's only a porn game, and that's why I suspend my disbelief when I see all the girls (including teachers like Isabella) dressing always like whores, showing their panties every time they sit, or having almost all of them lesbian tendencies and playing with each others every time they are alone. Those are just things to spice up a porn game, although I would prefer if the girls would dress and behave more realistically. But even a porn game, if it's a good one and not only fap material, should have a plausible story and plot.

DPC is like a chef that always put too much salt in the stew. Even if the ingredients are fresh and are well cooked, is going to taste bad. In his case, is not salt, but drama.
Lily figured it out because she's probably a lot more used to spotting shady business. She's dealt with Vinny and acts as the mule for the pink rose girls. It's very plausable that she'd heard something from Vinny and put 2+2 together. Or perhaps she mentioned B&R to Vinny and he went off about Tommy and Quinn.

Sage, on the other hand, is not used to dealing with shady business so she'd probably write off the oddball behaviour of Quinn as just part of her personality instead of something darker.
things are not quite like that

Lily, despite having the advantage of knowing the same shady circles as Quinn, has no brilliant insight into her business dealings; she is only lucky enough to be there when Mona lets slip more than one revelation. faced with such an unintentional confession anyone, perhaps even Arieth, would have understood.

then, precisely, not even we players, who see and hear everything, are really clear about the tasks and boundaries of Quinn's business (who are the restaurant patrons? only students? Is Burke the exception or the rule? what is Burke's role? do only HOTs girls work or also other outside girls like the Vixens?)

I will admit that I haven't read all 10000+ pages here, but I know there is a lot of theory crafting going around. So, I doubt I am the first to touch on this, but after my last playthrough where I was focusing on anything that could be construed as foreshadowing, I finally read that pic with the Burke newspaper clipping very closely. In it it mentions allegations that a company Burke is tied to offering a 'quid-pro-quo' for business deals. This with the scene where Burke was the one eliminating Mona from a scholarship listing, got me thinking. Is it possible that Quinn's whole restaurant deal is all actually being led by Burke? Using the college girls to facilitate business deals in a sex for contracts situation? We hear Mona say she didn't want to have sex with an 'old guy', to which we assumed she meant Burke himself, but maybe one of the other alumni was who she was being coerced to service at the party. Just a thought... Would give Quinn a sort of redemption path if in fact she's just a pawn in a larger scheme. Maybe even being blackmailed in to doing it. Quinn's need for money seems far more urgent than just to pay her own drug habit.

I think you missed or didn't pay attention to Sage's character development. First I will talk about it, then the problems of HOTs. PinkCake presents Sage from the very beginning as a typical cheerleader with inflated self-esteem - a spoiled girl who hires MC to spy. This representation is false - a well-known plot device that hides the true identity of the character.
Hints that Sage is not the way the DPC introduced her to us occur throughout the story. They are easy to miss if you play inattentively, ignoring the dialogues:
Episode 2. Sage shows care for MC when he was beaten by Dave. She proves to be an active and versatile girl when she wants to learn how to play the guitar and shows interest in sparring. At this moment, we first see her as a friendly and positive girl.
Episode 4: Sage provides moral support to MC during Josy/Maya drama. I see this chemistry between them and I just forget about Trouple. It is so good and easy with her, positive and crazy energy just comes from this girl.
Episode 5. Here we see the high moral standards of Sage. She goes berserk when MC jokingly mentions his dead mother. She hates to feel like an insensitive idiot and gets mad at Tremolo for embarrassing her. And if you continue to joke, you get -1RP Sage.
In Episode 6, we see even more of what a sensitive and emotional person she is when she is mentally destroyed after Chad abandoned her. We also see for the first time that she is smart, pays due attention to her studies and can balance between fun and study.
Episode 7 fully reveals the character, his name is True Colors and this is a subtext, a message to the player that this chapter reveals the real personalities of the characters in all its glory. We see how Sage is a warm-hearted, highly moral and kind soul. Bella notices this in a conversation with Jill: "She is not like I imagined. She turned out to be a very smart and intelligent girl"
Of course she has personality traits. And here we come to the problems of HOTs. Sage is very emotional and impulsive, she has an explosive temper. She is also very loving. This situation with Chad has driven her crazy and she is no longer able to manage the HOTs, leaving all the work to Quinn. Love is blind and we see it in the Sage/Chad relationship. She's so in love with him that she doesn't see the obvious things her "mom" told her. This is seen in the prologue of Episode 5, the way Sage looks at Chad, who doesn't care. Why can't Sage see what Quinn is doing? Quinn is very good at hiding her shady business and I think she has been doing this for quite some time, most likely since the second semester of last year. Assuming Quinn is now in her second grade, which I think is true. And her high moral qualities do not allow her to doubt her friend.
From observations, it can be concluded that DPC planned this character development from the very beginning. Attentive players have of course missed this.
If it´s so difficult to understand about Quinn's dirty dealings... why it only takes Lily a few days to understand everything? She wasn´t even living with the HOTs then...

If Sage haven´t neglected her duties with the HOTs, and over all, being so incredibly blind... why the situation of the sorority is so rotten now?

guys can we please be honest for one second we know why he has to write cheracters and the story a certain way and the answer is the fanbase most people interpret way to much in this :WeSmart:

comon pls be honest the reason why hots a lot of them (are slutty) act often very unlogic is because of the fanbase if they actually would act like the typical more open minded girl everybody would lose their mind and go crazy i mean look at the big drama for the little vanilla things in interlude.

yes most or a lot of cheracters act very unlogic dosent matter if its jill a very shy girl that normaly would take till prom night to get sex ,or hots beaing only slutty if mc with dik affinity is near ,or guys that are all the sadden all nerds,gay or stay in corners on big partys we know why he does this common mate.

the big problem in my opinion is that the dev will never grow as a writter because he is very limited in his writting this way and a sage ,quinn and jill will be very simmular this way even if they would act complettly different in terms of kinks,sluttiness or interaction with other people and so on the fanbase is the main reason and unless he does his own thing or dont care about money at some point he will never grow as a writter this is the 100% truth we all know that if we use a little bit of logic.

Look, the key difference between DPC and EvaKiss (I give an example, because I see you in the ORS thread, so you are familiar with her games) - PinkCake writes games as he wants and how he sees the development of the plot. He does not look at the fan base at all and does as he sees fit. For example, Interlude is very controversial, half of the players did not like such a plot move, no one likes Madame Rose, but still they are in the game. Few things are affected by the fan base, like patrons voting on who gets featured in special renders.
And this is his plus, he ignores the cries of the crowd and does what he wants. DPC is making its own game and people love it. Eva, for example, is the complete opposite, she is too sensitive to feedback.
In terms of writing talent, I compare it to the level of AAA games in the past when they were really great. And in the behavior of Quinn and Jill there is nothing in common. Each character is a well-thought-out personality with strengths and weaknesses, in most VNs the characters are just dick nozzles. This VN wouldn't be so popular if it was just another wanker with boring NPCs and fucking 3D girls.

Interesting, thoughtful characters - yes
Fascinating story yes
Plot holes are minimal. And I analyzed them in this thread.
The representation of young men is good - especially the DIK group - each character is a personality with its own character, especially they were revealed in the second season.

i am sorry but this is the truth
It's called opinion, man. Your point of view is nothing more than subjective, just like mine. There can be no truth here, we are not discussing algebra. This is art and there can be no single truth here. The fact that you do not like writing in BaDIK is nothing more than your subjective opinion.

If we compare your view with the objective reality, which is formed by the majority, then your point of view becomes even more subjective. And you are doubly mistaken if you say that the popularity of this game is due only to hot scenes. Because in many games there are high-quality hot renders. The description of Being a DIK in short is: "Went in for the porn, stayed for the story"

Jesus Christ. Yeah, the main reasons why BaD is so popular are good graphics, animations and bonding with Jill/Sage :KEK:
I don't even know if I really want to step into this conversation or it's better to just ignore your profiles. These constant complaints about TERRIBLE and UNREALISTIC writing with tons of plotholes are kinda annoying :HideThePain:

It's funny how some people in this site are so narrow minded and focused on "realism" in this type of games. As if realism were the only way to make a good story and not just one of the thousands way a story can be made. And realism is not superior to none of those. And is even more funny that practically every "realist-story freak" not even know what realism really is in arts. Otherwise they will see that the number of "realistic VNs" in this site is: 0.

I just said that the reason why he does this is porb money which is a fact unless his world view is really like this if he is very young adult which can also be the case.

or that the hots act a certain way is a fact, plot holes are a fact all this things i mean if i like the game or not is subjective and whith this pic you counter your own point i mean look at this wvm, summer saga harem hotel dating my daugter milf city and so on all male fantasy harem games wih a lot of sex, plot holes and not realistic(medicore at best) writting so this think works if you care about money its a fact but not a good product.

It´s just that two months ago in the game, when the school year started, Sage wasn´t interested in helping someone, and suddenly she is... I suppose that she was an orphan two months ago too, since that´s the reason DPC gives for Sage wanting to help someone and choosing Maya as his charity project... It´s not "It´s too late for the HOTs so I´m going to forget them and save Maya" since she doesn´t know about the problems of the other HOTs. If she knew, it´s supposed that this Sage wanting to help people around her would have helped her sisters time ago. After all, again, she was an orphan last year and the year before too, when she met Quinn and the others...

I think it´s just that for DPC, at first Sage and the HOTs were just a bunch of clichés, and after a few updates, the game and the story became bigger than DPC himself expected, and he had to give Sage (and also Quinn and the others) a personality. Problem is, the foundations of those characters are really bad. I like Sage (and even Quinn) now, but it´s because I choose to forget how they were during the first season. But Maya is just a bad character now, and then too. She´s just a spineless doll face (she didn´t even had the guts to say the MC the she already was in a relationship) waiting that a white knight, whoever, comes to solve her problems. I understand that Quinn, that is the opposite, a girl that solves her own problems even if that means risking ending up in jail, despises her. She´s beyond redemption as a likable character. But she has a pretty 3D model, that´s true.
There are a lot of separate issues here. Sage doesn't offer to help Quinn because Quinn goes to great lengths to downplay her need for money. That part can't be chalked up to lazy writing, it's a well presented side-effect of Quinn's personality.

Sage being completely oblivious to Quinn's vice racket... that's more in the lazy writing zone. I can suspend my disbelief to a point; we've seen things Sage hasn't, and she has been distracted by the Chad situation. But there's a limit, and once it's clear she believes Maya's story there's no excuse for her to continue giving Quinn so much free rein. This is made all the worse by the way the game portrays Sage as a wise leader - criticizing Rusty for living in a bubble and the like - when she has in fact been a horribly negligent president. To her credit Sage does realize she dropped the ball with Maya (especially if Maya asked to switch mothers), but she's still underestimating the scale of her screwup.

Now as far as DPC changing his mind about the HOTs, I strongly disagree. It seems very clear DPC always intended us to dismiss Sage as a vapid party girl early on, then realize her depths as we got to know her. That's a classic trope, and Sage is hardly the only person who's initial impression is misleading.

On Maya, you're welcome to dislike her, but dismissing her as waiting for a white knight to solve all her problems is flat out wrong. The whole point of joining the HOTs was to solve her problems on her own. Maya wouldn't even tell the MC about her problems until Episode 4 (if you're on her path) or Episode 6 (if you're not). Maya's mistake is looking for a get-rich-quick scheme to solve her problems in one fell swoop rather than attacking it over time. Maya is a very passive character and I'm as sick of her being stuck in the damsel role as everyone else, but she is not simply mooching off other characters.


You know, it occurs to me that this is exactly the sort of exchange that seems like an innocent joke about incest games now, but would take on a whole new meaning if it turns out Bella had a miscarriage. Just saying.


Though ... I think Tommy knew about Maya. I think in Ep 2 or 3 when they're having a party in the basement (when you do body shots off of Sarah and Mel) right before then Tommy seems like he's about tell Rusty about Maya like he's familiar with her in relation to Josy but Derek cuts him off.
That could either mean 1. Tommy was just going to say, "Yea, she's this really hot blonde" and Derek got uncomfortable so he brought up that she was his sister or 2. Tommy knew Josy and Maya were going out and was about to say something like, "Yea, she's my stupid step-sister's girlfriend". Derek probably cut him off for the same reason though, he just got uncomfortable about his sister being mentioned at all. Since, I think at that point Derek still didn't know Tommy was Josy's step-brother and wouldn't even imagine Tommy knowing about that relationship. Could be remembering wrong. I'm replaying the game while waiting but only got up to ep 1 because I haven't had time the past few days. Probably reading into it too much but that party scene was also the foreshadowing for Sage being a Burke. So who knows?
I'm pretty sure Tommy was going to say Maya was a friend of his step-sister. Josy's family had all met Maya, they just didn't know she and Josy were a romantic couple.


Hey guys. I was thinking of getting into DPC's other game Acting Lessons. Just wanted you opinions. It's it as good as Being a Dik? Because I honestly don't how you can top this one.

Is it same style and humor?
Acting Lessons. Sigh.

Okay, here's the thing. AL is a very well-crafted game with excellent character work and a lot of good bits. But it's also a fucking bait and switch. The game is not what it presents itself as for the first 6 chapters. The end of the game not only takes a famously dark turn, but that turn doesn't flow out of the events leading up to it. It just pops up out of nowhere and completely changes the tone of the game, practically wallowing in misery by the final episode. The endings can have some nice, bittersweet moments depending on how you play, but the emphasis is mostly on the bitter half.

As long as you know that going in, I think you'll be fine if you want to try it (assuming you can handle dark stories, obviously).

By the way, as we have to choose one of the girl at the end and break with the others, will the third season develop every path distinctly with friend zoned girls on every path ? I mean it will be difficult to play with a Harem mode now, right ? :p
Well, you have the option of not choosing any girl so you can still continue with the harem

If you were Bourke... would you sleep soundly every night if you know that your life and family, and the ones of your partners in business depend of... Quinn? :LOL:
Narcissists never believe they would be caught. People in power aren't always rational about their risks. By your logic, no one with substantial money or power would ever do anything illegal. Which we know in real life is ... not the case.

DPC is not young, I think he is even older than me. Most likely he is 35-40, from the facts that we know - he has a wife. Why do I think that he is 35-40? In the style of BaDIK, notes of American youth school comedies of the early 2000s, such as American Pie, are recognizable. Look at the same Tommy or Derek and you can see Stifler. That's an example.
Plus, his views are extremely unprogressive for today's youth - he exposes the SJW movement as a bunch of clowns.
Well, if you are a Capricornus , then it’s understandable, everything in life is done for the sake of money.

We know some things.
1. Quinn, Camila and Riona are prostitutes and work together under Quinn's direction.
2. Probably Sarah and Mel too.
3. They have been doing that for at least a year, probably two or even more time.
4. We only know one client for sure (MC), maybe two (Bourke), but they have more than that. It would be absurd if the business depends on one or two clients only.
5. Clients are people of the campus: students, probably some of them close friends of the HOTs (like MC) and maybe teachers too, since the dean is into it somehow.
6. They sell drugs too.
7. Quinn is not careful, she offers the services of his "restaurant" to people that barely knows like MC, and try to pimp girls that barely knows too, like Maya and Mona.
8. Quinn recibe clients in her own room, that is decorated like a brothel, including orgies with at least other girl and the client.

So... do you think that 8 (more or less) girls can live in the same house for several years, and realistically, not noticing that some of their "sisters" are into that kind of business? They are not going to see or listen nothing weird, a client is not going to talk, there are not going to be rumors all around the campus...? A Dean of an university, in his right mind, realistically, is going to allow himself to get involved into that kind of business with a bunch of barely legal untrustworthy brats, that are even close friends of his own daughter?

The plot of Quinn and some of the HOTs being into some shady business could be a good idea, but the way DPC has developed it, too hardcore, is a total nonsense from the beginning.
the topic of realism is always a slippery one. there are fathers who do not notice what their sons are doing, so it is not outside of what is happening in reality

it seems to me that the group of HOTs doesn't live so symbiotically that it should be assumed that everyone knows everything: Elena practically lives with John Boy, Heather probably knows a lot about the drug business (as a customer) but doesn't necessarily know about the restaurant, she knows that Melanie and Sara are "sluts" but not to that extent probably.
it would be unrealistic if Sara didn't know what Melanie does, but so it doesn't seem like a big jump in credibility that I've seen in a work of fiction

if the whole business starts with Quinn, it is less than two years old, even assuming it all started on Quinn's first day of college, which doesn't seem likely to me.

we have only seen MC and Burke as customers of the restaurant, plus we know about the glory holes within the college, but those can only be a part of the restaurant business, we simply do not know much, even if we know "everything"

I see this has the female protag tag but is it possible to play from a feminine perspective? Based on the description it doesn't seem so but descriptions can be misleading.

you are right: that tag is quite misleading, actually only the interlude (a short chapter that serves as a prologue to the third season) has the female protagonist

everything else in the game has the same male protagonist
